>FWIW: having decided that these are interesting times justifying watching every White House press briefing in full (a pastime I'd recommend) I can see that the level of civility is coming back to normal. Partisan barbed questions used to be the norm but when somebody asked one last week, you could see other attentive journos squirming at the wasted opportunity, knowing Huckabee Sanders is going to wrap it up soon. Acosta is the only traditional MSM rep still trying to have sparring sessions AFAICS. You'd have to expect that this will translate into a changed relationship between Trump and the MSM in the next 6 months, which is good for the US IMHO.


Again, comments about commentators who are commenting on what other commentators said.
The Greeks dramatists had their chorus, but the focus of the drama was on the characters and events.
In our drama the chorus means everything.
